Summary
Welcome to the first community episode of Tell Me I'm A Good Mom. I read hundreds of stories that came in through the Q+A form, and the theme I couldn't stop reading was the part of motherhood that happens years before the baby arrives. The IVF cycles. The miscarriages. The diagnoses that blindside you. The appointments where a doctor asks you a question you don't have the vocabulary for yet. In this episode I share three community stories with permission. Sherri, on seven IVF cycles and signing surrogacy papers in Mexico City at thirty-nine. Meghan, on a gestational diabetes diagnosis, a uterine infection after birth, and an OB phone call a week postpartum telling her half of her placenta was scar tissue. And Krystal, who miscarried alone in Cancún at a meditation retreat and chose radical openness on the other side of it. I answer three listener questions, including one on vaginal microbiome health and fertility that is the reason I started Love Wellness ten years ago. If you are in the middle of any of this, I hope this one finds you. Follow the show, and if you want to submit for the next one, the form is in my Instagram highlights.
